Abstract
ABSTRACT
Central nervous system (CNS) diseases present unique clinical challenges characterized by insidious symptom onset, complex pathophysiology with incomplete mechanistic understanding, and substantial difficulties in therapeutic evaluation, thereby these inherent complexities create substantial obstacles for developing effective CNS diseases management strategies. Certain edible and medicinal fungi contain bioactive components, including polysaccharides, triterpenoids, alkaloids, and so on, which have therapeutic promise for CNS diseases. This paper reviews the current research advancements regarding the use of edible and medicinal fungi in the context of CNS diseases, highlighting their advantages as prospective therapeutic options and potential roles in both prevention and treatment. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing studies, the mechanisms and applications of these fungi are elucidated, providing valuable insights for the development of novel pharmaceuticals or functional foods aimed at combating CNS diseases.
期刊介绍:
The goal of the Journal of Food Science is to offer scientists, researchers, and other food professionals the opportunity to share knowledge of scientific advancements in the myriad disciplines affecting their work, through a respected peer-reviewed publication. The Journal of Food Science serves as an international forum for vital research and developments in food science.
The range of topics covered in the journal include:
-Concise Reviews and Hypotheses in Food Science
-New Horizons in Food Research
-Integrated Food Science
-Food Chemistry
-Food Engineering, Materials Science, and Nanotechnology
-Food Microbiology and Safety
-Sensory and Consumer Sciences
-Health, Nutrition, and Food
-Toxicology and Chemical Food Safety
The Journal of Food Science publishes peer-reviewed articles that cover all aspects of food science, including safety and nutrition. Reviews should be 15 to 50 typewritten pages (including tables, figures, and references), should provide in-depth coverage of a narrowly defined topic, and should embody careful evaluation (weaknesses, strengths, explanation of discrepancies in results among similar studies) of all pertinent studies, so that insightful interpretations and conclusions can be presented. Hypothesis papers are especially appropriate in pioneering areas of research or important areas that are afflicted by scientific controversy.
